Growing up in the USA, there are many Canadian National Parks with which I was not familiar, but even though I had heard of Glacier National Park, there were certainly a great many things I did not know about it. I am happy to share with you today some of the amazing things I have learned about this beautiful National Park in Canada!
- Located in southeastern British Columbia, this protected wilderness which covers 521 square miles, spans the rugged Selkirk and Purcell mountains.
- Glacier National Park Canada was established in 1886 and is a mecca for mountaineering and backcountry exploration, renowned for over 130 glaciers, towering peaks, and massive winter snowfalls.
- The region receives up to 10 meters of snow annually - which is the same as 32 feet with areas such as Rogers Pass receiving up to 17 meters (56 ft) of snow over the course of a winter!
